community groups, doctors, and individuals can help prevent cancer in many ways.

Top ways to decrease risk:

Cancer Prevention Guidelines

30-50% of all cancers are preventable if these risk factors are managed!


Colon Cancer: Men and Women should start testing at the age of 45 if you have no known risk factors.

Prostate Cancer: Men 50+ should be talking to their doctor about risks, uncertainties and potential benefits.

Lung Cancer: All 55+ should be talking with their doctor about their smoking history.

Breast cancer: all women 50-54 should be getting a mammogram every year. Starting at 55 you should be getting a mammogram every 2 years or you can continue to get them yearly.

Early Detection

8

Chances of having cancer can be reduced by doing two things:

1. Early Diagnosis- more likely to respond to effective treatment and can result in

a greater probability of surviving, less morbidity, and less expensive treatment.

2. Screening- Goal is to identify individuals with abnormalities suggestive of

a specific cancer or pre-cancer who have not developed any symptoms

and refer them promptly for diagnosis and treatment


Biometric Screening

9

Have you completed your screening yet?

Biometric screenings are a good chance to see if

any numbers seem out of range.
